Question

B. 3/7
C. 3/4
D. 5/11

Answer 1

I think its A. I hope that helps lol

Answer 2

Hello.

Let's first make a basic concept to solve for our answer: Divide the numerator (the number on top of the fraction) by the denominator (the number on the bottom of the fraction). This turns our fraction into a decimal.
For example;
1/2; 0.5

A terminating decimal is a number that has infinite numbers at after the decimal.

Let's apply this to our answer choices.

1/9; 0.11~ (terminating; this may be an answer choice, but let's keep going to ensure that)
3/7; 0.428571429 - this is not terminating as the decimal does not infinitely repeat.
3/4; 0.75 - this is the same as above
5/11; 0.454545455 - this is not terminating as the end decimal is not "45", but rather "55".

Your answer is "A.) 1/9"

I hope this helps!
